Brokentalkers

Brokentalkers are a multi-award-winning Dublin-based theatre company. For over a decade, Brokentalkers have been making formally ambitious work that defies categorization and have built a reputation as one of Ireland’s most innovative and original theatre companies. They make work that responds to the contemporary world, using elements such as original writing, dance, classic texts, film, in reviews, found materials, and music to represent that world in performance. Some of their notable works include Have I No Mouth, The Blue Boy and Silver Stars.

Adrienne Truscott’s work crosses lines and methodologies from dance, theatre, comedy, cabaret, and performance art; these iterations appear as drag club acts as well as evening-length pieces; dances to one-lady plays; group pieces to solos. Recent pieces include THIS, Grey Arias, and Wild Bore and she is a recipient of an Obie, Doris Duke Impact, and FCA Grants to Artists Awards among others. She is also one half of The Wau Wau Sisters, a boundary-busting cabaret & circus collaboration that has been laying stages to waste for 20-plus years, and her critically acclaimed Adrienne Truscott’s Asking For It: A One-Lady Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy and Little Else (both a solo and an expanded group show). This show is considered a critical impetus to the evolving discourse about intersections of rape culture, gender, and comedy. adriennetruscott.com
